Day 23 of Juice Feasting - recommitting to my best

Today, I had a seemingly very mellow Sunday.  A bit of work for the village, but mostly, connection and transformation with Source, juicing, petting the baby goat, and watching a lot of youtube videos on raw foods and juice feasting, as well as an online movie "Run from the cure" about the incredible medical benefits of cannabis oil, which has cured people of terminal cancers among other things.  I recommend "Dave the raw food trucker" just 7 episodes on youtube, and he is tooo cute and a sweet sweet burly man.  Very down to earth and inspirational.

This evening, I was a bit hard on myself, as in "I should have gone for a longer walk"  "I should have done this and I should have done that" and then realized that really what I did do today was to recommit myself to my health, raw foods, and this cleanse.  I really needed that.  I had been way too grumpy, and several times on the verge of believing my inner chatter and breaking the cleanse.  

I am grateful to myself for doing this today, and I am thankful to all of you who are putting out inspirational  youtube videos.  It inspired me to research webcams that will work with my Mac.

Today, I again went for a wild grass foraging expedition and gathered up a very large bunch of tall grasses, some dandelion and red clover.  Juiced everything and added the juice of a  cucumber and a bunch of mint, and it was delish!  No fruits needed, halleluiah!  Actually, I didn't have any fruits, carrots or beets today, and I feel great.

Also on the menu, an entire head of cabbage, 2 bunches of kale, 1 liter/quart of bok choy, 1 l. of tomato, 1 and 1/2 l. of cucumber, some mint juice.  No celery to allow my body to recover from the celery overdose of the past weeks, and give myself the chance to want celery again.  Lots of greens is the ticket baby!! 

Still craving the seaweed, and I'm going with it, as they are powdered and easy to digest.  So I had about 3 tbs of them, a bit more than the recommended amount.

I feel great.  What I am noticing shifting today, is that I have a new "I take no prisonner" approach.  If something needs to get done, and someone isn't doing it, after several discussions about it, I'll find someone else to do it, instead of placating the first person.  This is very new.  I used to be a major peacemaker and go with the flow kind of person.  Very very cool.  I would have thought that green juicing would make me more spacey, but it seems to make me more grounded.  I like it!

Much love to all!
